Duck Call Room - Uncle Si Shares the Vietnam Moment He Thought Was the End

Episode Date: January 15, 2026

Uncle Si re-creates a chilling Vietnam moment when he braced himself for what he believed was imminent combat, only to later realize the situation was not at all what he thought. Rucker opens up about his nerves ahead of a trip to Africa and admits he’s still amazed Uncle Sam handed a passport to an ex-con, which earns him a more relentless ribbing than usual from John-David. Martin briefly steps away from Si’s spiraling theories and hands over the reins to Hunter from Kentucky, a young man the guys have been covering with prayer for months.

They should make that into a worship song. Oh, he probably had one somebody had. Somebody tried. Grind her or bail. Who? Isn't that right your name? Grindr. Crowder?

Prouder. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Crowder. I love you, man. Any different thing that you just said. I don't know. I know.

I still, why did I call him Grindr? You have us here know what a grinder is, don't we rugg her? Hey, coffee grinder. Please don't call him grinder again. Please. Oh, I don't know if I can handle it. Anyways. You got to remember, I work with a very broken fine tale.

So does everybody hear. Yeah, that's true. Hey, I turned on my television said today, and guess what? Put it on the channel for music. And, hey, that was the song on. Come, Jesus come. There you go. And I love it.

it's been a minute since you've been here. Yeah, it has been a while. What's new in your world? Uh, well, baby, baby's four months old now. There you go. How's that going? Oh, it's going, Greg. That baby's only four months old? I know. You had it like two years ago? Nope, four months ago. Really? For real? Just a little long ago. It feels like forever. It does feel like it's been a minute. Yeah, right? Wasn't it in August? That kid should be wiping its own butt by now. It'll be five months on the 20th. Oh, so that's round. Oh, he's a whole month of them.

That's five. Yeah. There you go. Yeah. You know. But, you know, life's good. Everything's great. Noah got him a Nissan, uh, centra for Christmas.

So, uh, now. A Nissan Centra? Oh, yeah. 2019, 100,000 miles. There you go. That's good. Perfect first car. Is he driving?

Yep. So you have a licensed driver. Well, he'll have his license next month technically. But he's driving us and we're getting him acquainted with the Nissan. The Nissan. A chauffeur. What was that car you had when you worked here and you flipped it over and didn't have a driver's license and we're driving all around town? Jeep Patriot.

I also got in a high speed chase in it. You could see the tire mark on the side of it. You should have got him a Jeep Patriot. Well. Just for old time's sake. I mean, I was looking for a deal. Okay. You know, a kid ain't getting what he wants.

He's getting a deal. Let's make a deal. Okay. But, yeah, that Jeep Patriot actually sold it in the parking lot. Out of the parking lot here. I don't know if you remember that. Is that the only thing you sold in our parking lot? Well.

That's the only thing you sold in the front parking lot, isn't it? That's right. That's right. I don't know if them papers on that, that Jeep were that up to snuff either. No, the papers were good. Plain title. I think. I really don't remember.

You think this one good. I didn't have a driver's license, somehow I had the vehicle. Well, they don't ask for proof of driver's license when you buy a car. Do they? Sometimes they do. They ask for insurance. You didn't have that either.

You got to have a license to get insurance. How did you do all the things that you did? Man, that is something that we will never know. I don't, I mean, we got a pretty good idea. I mean, look, if there was a way to cut a corner, bounce around a rule, break a law, I did it. Hey. Okay.

It started off so innocent. That was his game. breaking rules. In Texas, it ain't about if you have a driver's license. It's about who you can convince to insure you without one. You had insurance? I think so. What it's really about is, hey,

is the confidence you display in all areas. You was working with that company Shack talks for it, wasn't it? Well, I don't know if you remember this, but whenever we sat down and went over my budget about me having to pay my car. Was that in this room? Or was that? No, that was in the conference room. That was in that room.

Yep, that was in that room. Where Unashamed is filmed. Oh, yeah. Filmed. It does? That was weird. Yeah. I just had a new voice.

That's why I turned out. You're from West Monroe. Okay. Go ahead. But look, so when we sat down and went, I don't know if you recall this part, but when we were figuring out that the only way I was able to pay my car note was by selling pills with my grandma, you said, you said a couple of things. You weren't that.

I wasn't excited about it. That, hey, you're not supposed to. to do that. And I was like, hey. That's against the rules for sure. Yeah. And then the other thing is I was telling you how if I didn't pay the car note, they would shut the vehicle off like it was a prepaid phone.

No joke. They had an anti-theft system on it. Uh-oh. And if you didn't pay the car note, they would just turn it off. Just turn it off. Can you drive it? Where do you even purchase something like that? From a sketchy car lot in Houston, Texas.

Hmm. Interesting. Did you get that same option for your, son? No. Where you can just turn it off? We're living differently now. I would like to be able to just turn a car off.

It would kind of be fun, wasn't it? How do you get one? Well, let me tell you how I found out. I was in Odessa, Texas, painting a hotel that they were remodeling out there. And I didn't pay the note because I was in Odessa, Texas. Didn't think it was a big deal, whatever. And I go to getting the Jeep and drive to the store. and it won't start.

And I'm like, man, what is wrong with this thing? Pulled the whole front clip off of it. I mean, I tore this thing apart. And then I remembered, I think that guy said, if I didn't pay it, so I called him and I said, hey, my car ain't running. Oh, yeah, we cut it off. When are you going to make your payment? Right now.

Yep. Now I paid it. Right now. And then I had to start working again? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. living in the future man you know sometimes you take a bite out of something and you're immediately like

okay that's that's legit this we got to look into this more oh yeah but you know what's even better than that when you look at it and you know that and that's the way i felt when i opened the first box of tritails beef because tritails is prime and upper choice beef from american cowboys and ranchers and you will taste the difference the first time that you cook it their steaks are aged to perfection and rival any steak that you'd get at a restaurant or a steakhouse or anywhere. And I knew that. When I took it out and saw the marbling in the meat,

like the New York strips and the filets and the ribyes. Yeah. And we cooked some pretty good steaks for Sai, brought it to Sai and Christine Filet Mignon and hey. It was good, Sae. Hey. Yeah, my wife threw out the, just an old sorry-looking cuttery.

Yeah. I could take, I could have took that plastic fork and cut it. It was that high grade of beef. You know what's super cool is trying? Triedells is a family business. Their fifth generation family ranch and that same family is still responsible for every box of of meat that they ship straight to your family.

Look, they're out there raising cattle, chasing calves, and packing your order by hand. The beef is rich and tender and the marbling is off the charts. And military, first responders, any of those kind of folks, you get a discount. You just sign up for Triedale's beef. And Triedales beef is the real deal. You're putting something on the table that reflects care, continuity, and something worth passing down. That's what Triedales is all about. go to trybeef.com slash

to learn more or order your first trytales box straight from their ranch to your door. That's t rybeef.com slash and you'll even get 10% off your first order and they're throwing in some free meat for you so go check it out. That's t rybeef.com slash now I had to get my ceilings painted

because my kids duct taped a bunch of stuff to the roof beside the stairs and made a swing. Oh, okay. How'd that go? Well, there's still some duct tape. can't reach it well no I can reach it but it tears stuff up duct tape sticks

yeah that's good that's good anyway it has many and multiple uses ain't no doubt we put it on helicopter blades no you did not no you didn't

you did what you put you put duck hey we call it a hundred mile an air tape because hey them them um um

dews and gun chips then babies get up there and get after it. And things are patched together with duct tape just laying people. And the United States government fixed the blades of a helicopter. This was the 70s, man. In the war zone, they don't make no difference. Hey, fix it. He just fix it.

But the duct tape was actively holding something together. Oh, no, no, no. A helicopter blade. It's on the blade. Well, I understand. But like what? Are we talking broken? Blades get broken.

Crack, shot off. a hole in it. Oh, crack. Okay, okay. Okay. But not like, not like it broke all the way off and we taped it back together. Not like the end fell off and we taped it back on it. Superficial, superficial.

Hey, that's in an extreme emergency. You know how good for a shot? When you would use it that way, yeah. We're extremely. Shot in half. Well, we needed to fly. Hey, we tape it back. This is crazy.

Get us back to the home base. I Googled it. Yeah. and somebody posted 11 years ago today I learned duct tape was used to repair roto blades on military helicopters during the Vietnam War and somebody said we called it 100 mile an hour tape 100%

you people that went to Vietnam why do y'all keep boutting me did you get the internet well we have I mean look I tell it to you hey it's a story you already know 95% of my story

are true. Yes. Is it 95% of the total stories are true? Or 95% of each story? The total story. That's true. In other words, I throw in about 5% of, ha, ha, ha. Yeah, creative license.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They make it funny to hold your attention. That's interesting. I mean. Did you ever do that? Like, were you one of the ones taping or not? Well, I don't, I've used it for a lot of stuff. Okay.

I was just curious. Hey, I wasn't a mechanic. Yeah. Did you get in the helicopter that was held together by duct tape? Well, no, no. I used to travel in the helicopter a lot that was held together by duct tape. So you did? So yes.

The answer to that is yes. Yeah. So you got in a helicopter that was duct taped together. Oh, no, I had a heart attack in a helicopter. Because we're going over long being a bay in Saigon. And they opened up both 50 calibers on the side of this Chinook. And then the guy in the back jumps down and is laying down shooting his 45. And I'm over there going, Lord, maybe you get through this.

And I finally got enough nerve to look and see what they were shooting at. They're shooting at a stupid school of fish. And I said, you idiots like to make me have a heart attack. actually thinking I was in combat against the enemy, and they would shoot back at us. And they were... Don't do that. They were shooting fish. They were shooting fish in a barrel.

They were shooting a barrel. Not the livestock. Why were they shooting fish? Because you were in Vietnam. Why not? We're in the war zone. We got all ammo in the world. They shoot it something.

It's better than sitting on it. It's just sitting there. It's just, you know, boring. I feel like if I was in the military, I would. You wouldn't have made it. I would appreciate that stage. I want a live look of a duck out in my side. He just said it.

Shoot it something. He don't care. He ain't going to sit there and not fire his weapon. I went with Sai one time and we never saw a duck, but then that poor crow got about within a hondo and that sucker ate it. We and crows have a bad habit. When we come together, they die. What lives around you?

You've already threatened to kill my computer. Well, hey, y'all. Mold. Hey, that's true. I thought that stuff's hard to get rid of, too. It ain't easy to take that out. In fact, I don't know what this is going to cost me to get rid of what I got at the house. Oh, you?

I was talking about the hot chocolate cup. Oh, no, yeah. I didn't know you had. He just got rid of that the other day. Praise the Lord. It had a mold growing about that deep in it. Hunter wanted to save the cup Yeah and I showed you to

JD and Jay did what he did What ha get away I don't do well with I said hey it's just mold Yeah just a little penicill That's right Yeah yeah In a little penicillity

Smells get me man I don't like bad smells Oh man I didn't know you had mold at your house Oh yeah And the roof where at Yeah it's just It's in the laundry room

For crying out loud must have a leak Yeah, some moisture got in there Yeah, interesting Well, and we do live in moisture Yeah, yeah, that's true Yeah, yeah Louisiana's known for moisture

Yeah, this is one of the So what's the plan to get the mold out at the laundry room? Who knows? Get another side pad Oh, yeah We need to run that back Get sigh and a sci pad Back on that.

That's too little Huh? That's too little Put three of them to get You'd be all right. What? Oh, you guys put four, five bucks. There's still.

You want, what do you want? What in the war was that? It was, I was researching how the military, what all the military uses duct tape on. It's, it's more than you'd think. Oh, no. What's the most shocking one after helicopter planes? No, no, we're already there. But it's got to be military-grade duct tape because that stuff you get at Walmart.

It is better, it. No, no, if you could have seen some of the stuff. that our men in uniform flew, you wouldn't believe it. I'm serious. I didn't believe you when you said you put the top tape. No, no. Hold the plane.

I've seen an A10 whart hog that should not have been flying. But it was. And it was. Were you in it? And it was still, and it was still functional and still kicking. But if you think about it, you look on like them airplanes you get on at the airport,

got something that looks like duct tape on all the wings. Like they'll have little patches of that. Hey, don't put it past. Aviation? I mean, it looks like duct tape. I don't know if that's what it's going to do. It probably is. But that's what it was.

A hundred mile an hour duct tape. I like that time we took off and my man left his screwdriver on the wing. I was like, well, that's going to fall off at some point. What? No. Oh, yeah. Well, hey, you can see it flap in something. What if it hits some?

I'm assuming it fell off on the runway or the tarmac at some point. Well, then what if the next person right? over that. Hey, I don't know. You ain't got the three wheels. Over duct tape? No, screw drive. What's the longest flight?

Oh, if he run over there was a tire, he'd flat it. He'd make it flat. Longest Scotland was like seven hours or something. A long time to be an airplane next to John Gobbin. I ain't never been nervous to fly, but I am flying to Africa at the beginning of the next month. Yeah, they ain't got that bridge done yet. That's a 12-hour flight. from Philadelphia to Qatar.

You'll enjoy you that, though. Will I? What are you doing that for? I would have to train up some celebrate recovery leaders in Africa. Celebrate Recovery is like popping off in Africa. That's all over the place, man. Interesting. I'd like to go to Africa for just a safari.

No killing. I don't want to shoot nothing. I just want to go see it all. Be honest. You'd like to watch something. You'd like to watch something get killed. Like, you'd like to. No, I'd rather go and just look at all the game that it's like.

No, that's what I'm talking about, like, sit on a river crossing with, he don't want to build a beast going across it and a crocodile. Oh, no, I would like to pop a crocodile. Oh. Okay, now we're killing. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean.

But I just say. The part I wouldn't do is what is the ones that do do do do it. Do do do. The one that do do do it. Do do it. Hey, they weighed, look. they shoot a big crocodile and he goes on the water

in the river. All they get is a little stick and go pick a limb and pop the water and go out and get the one that sunk. Who's getting the crocodile that sunk? The ones that bring the crocodiles back to the bank.

Why are they getting the crocodile? Because they wanted to have the boundaries. Ah. A buddy of mine down in South Texas he's got the attic of his big hunting lodge. He left part of half of it open. And right at the front part of that half

is a 25-foot crocodile. He shot. 25. 25 feet? They exist. Google that. Oh, it's unreal. How big they are?

Great whites, crocodiles. How are those two related? What do they say they are there? The largest measured living crocodile was around 20 feet, which is still... I mean, so 25. I mean... Hey, that's the 5% I'm talking about. That's 25%.

No, hey, 25%. I said 25. It was 20. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outside cooking. And y'all know, we love to eat beef around here.

And that's because of our friends over at Tried. beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sao Robertson, would say, buy on the grill! Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store,

do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Tritales beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritails comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch. So they've been at it for a while. Look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door.

We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritale's beef. I know in size case, Christine loves it. which is just a, she doesn't eat meat.

She ain't a big meat eater, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Where I'm going in Africa, though, it is on the Nile River. Are you on now? You're going to join in the now. I've been in denial a long time.

I want to talk, hey, take a lot of pictures when you're out. Where are you going? Yeah. Ginger. Where? You acted like, you said that like Calhoun. Like I know where that is. Ginger.

Oh, yeah, we're just going to head over to Ginger. It's the mouth of the Nile. Matter of fact, the hotel is called Mouth of the Nile Hotel. Mouth of the Niles in the ocean. No. You're fixing to be a man, a traveler of the world. I know. Have you ever left the country?

That's what I was about to, that, I mean, I don't want to be rude about it. No, no, no. I mean, look, it's all fair. It's public knowledge. Yeah. I mean, the fact that they gave me a passport. They gave you. Shocking.

I didn't realize, like, I was seriously nervous because you don't know what fell through the cracks or what lists you're on if you lived a life like me. Correct. But they gave me a passport. I went up there, you know. Is Matt going with you? No. Just curious. I couldn't do what you do.

Well, this is the first one to do. All these places. Yeah, but I. He's never done. what he's doing. This is all new to me, you know. How long was a flight to Vietnam? Depends on how, well, that was it done to be hauled up.

We went by way of Anchorage, Alaska, because we landed in Anchorage. Yeah. And then you hopped over from there. And then we hopped over for that. Okay. It's probably like 12 hours until. Yeah. There's a long flight.

That's too long, being an airplane. Oh, you get to fly first class? No. No lay flats? Well, I think this. I think you can't go do stuff for Jesus and fly first class. It's kind of, I don't know. I guess you could.

It's not an our budget. It's not an our budget. Okay, there it. I look at it this way. You know, with Jesus, your first class anyway. That's right. There you go. That's right.

Friends, as somebody who's set in first class and somebody who's set by the toilet, they were very different. Even if Jesus is with you, it's way more comfortable. I did, I did get an exit, row. That's good. Well, because I feel more comfortable. You got them long legs. Well, I just want to know who's there because that person is responsible for the, if everything goes awry, the exit row guy needs to be able to go.

Oh, no, you ain't like to. Yeah, because that's what matters. You don't have to worry about yet. We need a big strong guy at an exit row over the ocean. What are you going to do? Yeah, you need. You just look at them and say yes. And they're like, I recommend taking that 45 seconds to really refresh on the gospel real quick.

Rather than worry about which way you're going to throw that door. Yeah. I mean, you know. Just one last refresher. Right, Lord. Tom Hanks. I don't deserve it, but here I am. Here I come.

I'm coming, buddy. I've never understood. You already know. Yeah, yeah. That exit row thing. What? I mean, how many times is the person in the exit row been like, yes, and then actually had to do something?

I hope not. Besides that one guy in New York that had the movie about them that ran into all those birds. Well, I was going to say the hope is that you don't have to do nothing about it. I mean, that's the. But then they make you pay extra. for an exit row and you're the one with the responsibility of saving everybody. Yeah, but you also get the comforts of being that person, which is extra leg room.

Why do you need extra leg room? I don't need extra leg room. How tall are you? How tall are you? On my license or literally? Yeah, Drew, yes. On literally? I don't know.

I ain't measured myself in a while. How tall are you on your license? Five eight. liar. Or you're 5, 6. He's really 5'4. Yeah. I would call you 5'7.

I think I'm a solid 5.7. And you're a lot like size stories. You're 95% torso. Yeah, that's accurate. So why are you worried about legroom? It's just about having more space, man. You never know what's going to pop off on an airplane for 12 hours. There could be some unruly individual that's hoping to, like, I mean, I need some space.

You know what I mean? You're sitting right beside two people still. No, but I got Derek the spot right next to me. Okay. You know what I mean? Like, I'll organize this in a way to where if things get weird. You and Derek? I'm prepared.

You're prepared. Okay. You know. With all the leg room. That's just motto. All the leg room. Always be prepared. Also had to find, so here's one issue.

On the way back is during the Super Bowl. So we'll literally be flying. when the Super Bowl is happening. Who's playing the Super Bowl? Hopefully the Houston Texans. They're good. They play tonight. They play tonight.

We got the number one defense in the league. Defense wins championships. All right. We're going to dispose of Aaron Rogers and the Pittsburgh Steel. Oh, that's all. You got to. Yep.

Time out. So you're worried about this whole thing you're going to go to Africa and then you're worried about You go into Africa to share the gospel, but you're worried about missing the Super Bowl. Okay, you said it. I was trying to get there, but I wanted to be nice. Just so we're clear, I'd rather be in first class.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When you're working for the Lord. It's not that I'm necessarily worried about it, but I mean, the Houston Texans are in the Super Bowl. You know you'll be able to watch it, right? Yeah, you can watch live TV on the plane. No, I've already started figuring all that up. Elon Musk has changed the world of planes. Yeah.

I'm not do anything. Yeah, you'll have like direct TV on that plane or something. Oh, yeah. Phil Duff is what, United? Are you flying United? Oh, American. What's the same thing? Like Johnny D.

If the Saints were in the Super Bowl while you're flying. People in Africa could deal with it. I'm watching the Super Bowl. That's what I'm... I'm joking. I'm joking. That's what I'm saying. Johnny Dee's bugging the flight the next day, just so well clear.

Yeah, I'd already... He'd already figured that. No, actually, I stopped doing that whenever... You want to work for your... you so no no whenever well i arranged the birth of a child around a football game one time uh yeah i like it be in attendance you get a lot of flack about that no i don't but that ref sure didn't throw that flag that day and i was like boy this wasn't worth it we're not going to the super bowl so hold on i'm trying to put 20 bucks on the steelers right now because size's so confident

Every time you say something like that, the opposite. Yeah, but you're betting against the Houston Texans, really, and that's not. He's bad.

You're betting against Strout. Wow, he knows a quarterback. Oh, yeah. He's got a lot of time on his hands. He does. I do have a lot of time. The only thing he's been spot on on about them Indiana Hoosiers, and such are good, man.

If you were somebody you know, has a gambling problem. If you were saying, it'll happen. I've got the Nile River pulled up on my car. We put that at the bottom of the screen for all of our people. Please call right here. Or call my office. Hey, Bramsey. Any hurt habit or hang up.

Hey, are you going to, hey, you know. Rucker, you're going to go out on the Nile River? Yeah. I ain't going to. Look, look, let me tell you so. Back to Africa. Let me tell you something that they said. They said, okay, you're not really supposed to go out at night.

I said, the first thing I'm doing is I'm walking to a corner store at night. But that's just me. Like, I, anywhere I travel. He's going to get to know the people, boys. I don't, like, what's the point of traveling somewhere and just stay and confined to like the areas that are safe living life returning or not so you can watch the Super Bowl on the plane let's go see if we can find a crocodile laying on there's a bank rucker i'd like to remind you of uh no less or no more than 20 minutes ago you were talking about your child being four months old i know i would love to see him grow yeah but not as much as he'd like to go to a corner store in africa at night well the corner store in Cairo, may not be where you want to.

Hey, where are you going? I can't find it. Ginger. Hey, maybe you'll do like Al did. Ginger. When Al went to Africa, he went to some little town and they was walking in there. And when they walked in the middle of it, it was a big pond. And guess what that big pond was full of?

Crocodiles. Good. And I mean, hey, some big ones. You know, they come walking out in amongst the crowd. Well, I do know where we're going doesn't actually have like concrete. streets it's all red dirt hold on it's not at the mouth of the nile yes it is

oh martin where's the mouth of the nile hey who's going to who's going to african mediterranean somewhere right don't it flow back up it flows the other way right there below the equator well it's called something of the nile queen it's where the nile river starts oh that's the start

the headwaters of the nile yeah the mouth is that you don't know the end yeah i was looking at all at the beginning of the Nile. I'm on Google Maps over here searching all over the end of the Nile River. It's the beginning of the Nile River. I got a long track to make. That's a big one.

You're going to find it. So wait a minute. You don't call the beginning of a river or the mouth? No, the mouth is where it dumps out. Oh, so you learned something new. Did you think the mouth of the Mississippi River was in Minnesota? Yep. No, that's the headwaters.

Oh, that's the headwaters. Yeah, the mouth is where it goes. So you're going all the way to Lake Victoria. That's where it runs into. I'm from the projects. They got rivers in Houston. Yeah, but we don't, I don't know the technical terminology. I mean, is the Trinity really a river?

I mean. It looked like a ditch when you go over. It really is. Like San Antonio's Riverwalk. Oh, Solentown Town, Son Antonio's got a river. And a beautiful river and the biggest big old Sopperstries. You don't want to see your life. Who does?

San Antonio. San Antonio. The Colorado River, ain't it? That ain't a river. Hey, Santa Tocan's got a river that runs all through there. A river runs through it. Yeah, they have the river walk. Yeah.

Not a river. And then Turo. Well, you mean it ain't a river. It's not a river. You can jump over it. But it is a river. There's parts of the Wachitae you can jump over. No, there's not.

Guarantee. The Wachita River. You can wait across the Wachita. Well, yeah. That's a river. At a low time. We have ditches they run right beside Walmart that are bigger than the San Antonio. Look, we know in the United States, there's always, and there has been for a long time,

a debate about pro-life, pro-choice, all the things, right? And sadly, since Roe was overturned, babies' lives are at an even greater risk, but our friends over at pre-born are standing in the gap for babies and women who are facing unplanned pregnancies. 67 million babies' lives have been tragically ended through abortion since Roe, and this sanctity of Life Month. We're honoring those lives. The abortion pill accounts for over 60% of all abortions and makes abortions available 24-7. But in the midst of this darkness, there is a light that shines. Pre-born has rescued over 400,000 babies from abortion. And every day on average, they rescue 200 or

more babies. When a woman considering abortion comes to a pre-born network clinic, she'll hear her baby's heartbeat and see her precious baby on ultrasound. Instantly, her baby's chance at life is double. I just remember the feeling the first time you heard the heartbeat on the ultrasounds and everything in there that made this moment very real, that you knew this life was real, that there was a child growing inside of my wife. In fact, in mind, they were so synced up. There was two of them. The cool part about pre-born is they're sharing the gospel with each woman who walks through their doors, and they're also providing support to them. So clothes, diapers, car seats, and even counseling for free for up to two years. They're the ones out there being the hands and feet of

Jesus. For just $28, the cost of a dinner, you can sponsor an ultrasound to introduce a mother to her baby for the first time. 100% of your donation will go towards saving babies. Will you help us? Just dial pound 2.50 and say the keyword baby, that's pound 250 baby, or donate securely at preborn.com slash. That's preborn.com slash. What is something, what, what, for it to be classified as a river, it has to flow into the ocean. Is that correct? No, there's lots of rivers that flow into other rivers. I'm sure it has to do with the bound of current or... You know the difference in a pond and a lake?

Yep. What? Yep. Anchorage. Depth. Exarchage. Martin got it right. Average depth.

Yep. That's the difference point of a pond and a lake. Well, that was a Martin question. Wait, wait. Move by a jess up. So if you have a pond deep enough, you could call it a lake. Correct. Did you choose to you?

I got a bottomless pond. What's a bottomless pond, Indiana Jones? A bottomless pond. You just said, you couldn't find the bottom of it. He saw a golden corral commercial. No. He's on that endless chocolate. No, a bottomless pond is a bottomless pond.

It don't have a bottom. How, but it has to have one somewhere. The ocean has a bottom. There's boats and stuff. No, it don't. There's spots in the ocean that's there. It's no bottom. Mariana Trench

Still has a bottom What I'm Deepest part of the ocean What part of the ocean Doesn't have a bottom The bottom was Possible

Got you got you Oh man I was actually I was halfway believing him Well maybe He might have heard What was the payoff? No no

Look I think it I'm serious I think it exists Oh are we about to go into Conspiracy Well well I don't know of the ocean.

So I might be the guy that thinks that the bottom of the ocean leads to space. That's a new one. Oh, I may know. I may come out. Look. Y'all hadn't heard that one? Look, if I, no, no, no. If I had a machine that I could breathe oxygen under, I could go in.

What is that? What is that trench? Mariana trench. Mariana Trench. I could go there. I'm just trying for not something. I would come out on the other side of the world. No.

Because it ain't got nobody either. Or it leads to space. They think it leads to space? The conspiracy is that all these new... I got a new conspiracy theory that I'm in. All these new species that they're finding in the Mariana Trench look like aliens. Hey, here's the deal. That's true.

This is size theory. How do you know what an alien looks like? Well, hadn't you seen E.T? I actually think Independence Day is... a better representation. Question. I don't disagree. I think there's several.

Welcome to Earth. Question. Why do I feel like I've been drinking? I don't know. Hey, but it's good. That's where y'all's conversation is gotten. I don't know, but hey, whatever we're drinking is really good. Okay.

But anyway, here's my theory. Purified drinking water. Here's my theory. It ain't no can in white Russian. How far does creation go? What? It's endless. How far does creation go?

This is just like. that bottomless part. Are you saying that the Lord created everything so vast that it never ends so we could also Right now, if you had a time machine to the bottom?

No, no, look, right now, if you had a time machine you could go anywhere because it's self-sufficient. It never runs out of energy and all that. You just got to go 80. So not like...

It's like the energy of the bunny. It just keeps going. The time machine? It's not like the DeLorean back to the future. Well, it's like the energizing bunny. It will never run down. Well, here's the thing. That's why creation is.

You could get in a time machine and live to be 500 years old and you would be a child compared to what God has for you to see. This is true. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Because, hey, it just goes. on and on and on and on and on. Question.

There are galaxies out there, okay, that no one but God himself has sin. True. Amen. Are we talking about eternity, or are we talking about creation? Both. Okay.

Because they're intertwined. Yeah, there you go. Quick question. Because I was the Lord, they ain't old start or end. I just realized we have a live studio audience and we have not talked about anything of substance. I got you. I got a new substance.

Martin, I found a new conspiracy theory that really excites me and gets me going. Oh, hit me with your best shot. How many people are on earth? Oh, I don't remember that number. I thought it was $40 billion.

It was it $6 billion or something? I thought it was $40 billion. $40 billion. 40 billion people. I think the number is somewhere around seven. Nine billion? Nine billion? Hunter knows.

I ain't checked in a minute. Why about this is 100? Nine billion? Did you look it up or did you know that? Did this kid come up with 40 billion? Well, it was like. I think I'm looking into the future. It was 8 billion not long ago.

8.3 billion people is the estimate. Is that, oh, 8.3 billion? Well, see, I'm going to look it in the future. I'm out on that. It's 40 billion. There ain't that many people here. It's 40 billion. The world.

The future is going to be 40 billion. It's a small world. After all. Oh, that's true. There's not that many people. That's the new conspiracy. They're like, oh, there's a million people in that city. No, they're not.

They're just inflating the numbers. I'm looking at. Wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, Tom. I'm looking to the new conspiracy is that. There ain't that many people. So the numbers being. But those are the people that probably think we're in the truth. Truman show also.

How can you be sure you're not? Why are you saying there's not that many people? I don't think there's that many people. I'm not saying. I agree with the $9 billion number, me personally. I think $9 billion makes sense. Now, it doesn't make any sense. Have you not that many people?

As you know, have you done the census? 2,000 years ago, everybody lived around the same. Have you done the census? Have you? Yeah. I got $40 billion in the future. I don't trust. A census has been done.

I don't trust how many people. there are. So it's a new thing. You can't prove me wrong. You can't prove. Look, look at this. Current world population, 8,269,000,

550,000, 701, 2, 3, 4, 5,6, they're just making stuff up. But, well, so that is roughly. I mean, how many people are here, United States? 300 something? 300, wait a 300 million.

330 million. They took somewhere. 340 million, 110,000. 988. $39. $40 million. And we're pretty big. We're pretty big.

I'm going to let you know a little secret. That's the current guess. That's a bad guess. Well, I agree with you. That's why I said $40 billion. It's hard to believe outside of the United States. I ain't getting off. I ain't getting off.

I ain't getting off. I mean. 40 billion people. Because this place is crowded. I'm still trying to understand how this is now a conversation of substance. It is a substance. Some girl that grew up in China. got on the internet and said, no, no, we're making that number up.

Well, she's wrong. Y'all. Y'all. You're siding with the Chinese government? Is she a government worker? No, she's not. She's just a random person. Y'all keep falling for all of this guesses that everybody's got.

Birds aren't real either. Or drones. No, no. What, that, that, I mean, hey. Hey, I got my own guess. What, you're just, but I'm saying that the population of the world is way less. You're saying it's way more? Yes, more.

As somebody that was once... No one's taking the census. They don't know how. As somebody that was once surveyed by state and government agencies, I'll tell you, they do have some interesting tactics. I mean... So look, if you Google how many people were on Earth in 1900, it was $1.6 billion. So in 125 years, we just multiplied by eight?

You let some professor that's out of his mind to begin, with tell you that guess and you've gone with it. And you're quadrupling it and I'm going backwards. Oh, I'm doing, I'm all all about the future. Okay, y'all hung up in the past. It started with one billion. I'm talking about, hey, we're up to now. It started with two.

Well, hey, I won't go to the future and go 40 billion. Then it went down to eight real fast. Hunter, are you bored yet? You won't come over here? Yeah, come on, Hunter. Because I think I've listened about all this. Martin, how many people do you think are on earth? I think I'm swapping seats with Hunter.

That's right. Now, Martin, come on up. Before you go, more or less. Hey, it's that time of the year that you need a good sleep so you can crush all those New Year's goals you got. And you know the best way to get good sleep with a good pillow. Thank you. And you know where to get a good pillow?

Harlan County. Oh, I thought you was the one that was from Tennessee. No, no. Oh. Why, that's my homie? Hey. I'm lost now. You're confusing me.

He comes from the state my woman comes from, son. Hey, we're good to go, huh? But he's right beside Kentucky, I think. Nope. Yeah. Google there? Yeah. I just, hey, does Kentucky and Tennessee join?

No. They're not together, no. I don't think they're touching it was. They do touch. They do touch, though. Yeah, but they're an individual. You are 78 years old. Yeah, but they're individual.

Well, yeah, they're individual. Yeah, they're not a coalition. It's like Louisiana and Arkansas. Well, we're connected. Hunter, good luck, man. I'm about to. It's like math. It's like math.

Y'all don't understand my math. I don't understand it either. Hunter do you take algebra school? It's going to make any difference. How many numbers or how many letters you put in it? What grade is going to end up? X equals six. I am in the 10th grade.

Okay, that's prime algebra. I'm telling you. Hey. So what I want you to see right here is I need you to look at sign. And then every time remember, you need to study. Yeah. You need to stay in school. Right.

Although it worked out for him. He was very old. This man has given you good advice. Yeah, no, you got to stay in school. You got to stay in school. You got to stay in school. It did not. It has made my life very difficult.

I mean, I totally agree that I wasted my whole time in school. Don't tell me. Hey, you need to stay in it. And they'll tell you you're smarter than you really are. What did you? Did you just call? I don't understand. No, no, because I'm going to tell you.

Because, hey, you know all the people that's got the PhDs behind their name? Yeah. They're a bunch of idiots, too, but they'll tell you. smart. Yeah, this is great advice. I is smarter than he lives. What brings you here? Well, I just wanted to bring your family together and have a good time.

All right. So y'all just kind of came down for a little vacation and ended up here in the duck call room learning why you should quit algebra. That's right. No, I think I'm a stay in algebra. There you go. There we go. I was just making sure.

That was a test. He may understand and get something out of algebra. I don't know. There you go. Well, that's awesome, man. So what do you do back home? Hunt, fish. Do you love every day?

That's a Luke Bryan song, sorry. You love every day? Hunting fish and loving everything. Have you heard that one? Yeah. You like it? Yeah. It's pretty good.

It's a pretty good song. It's not a bad one. So you're a hunter, fisher. Yeah. You're one of us. Our ride four-wheelers. Come on, man. Day, I look it on what's your screen.

I've got to get a do. Hey, I wish I had a pet. I wish I had that pet right there. This is what this. I'm not allowed to do anything in this. No, no, no. On my computer. What was I want a pet of?

Yeah. You used to want a giraffe. You have any pets? No, no, no, I would ride a giraffe. That way I'd be up there on his horns. I could, I see everywhere. But I'd like that as a pet. Hunter, if you had to ride a giraffe, would you ride it up at the head or on the back?

I'm riding it on its back. There you go. That's what makes sense. No, you can't see nothing if you're on his back. Yeah, you can't. You got to have, you got to be right on with your thighs under his ears and hold on to them, them two horns he's got on top of his head. Yeah, and then you'll never take a water for it.

You're gone. That way, you're above everybody. I like it. Yeah. So what? 360. So why do you, I pulled this. elephant up when he was going to Africa

a little bit. I would love to have a big pet elephant. Where are you going to put it? Hey, I won't put him nowhere. He is just beef. You're just going to have a free-range elephant. You don't push that boy around. What kind of pets do you have? I have four dogs,

Chihuahua. It's a chihuahua. That's a man. They'll bite the fire out of. A chihuahua, a pith. Pit bull. Oh, hey, pit bull to hold on. He's like a turtle.

Once he closes his mouth, he ain't ever going to open it. Okay, so you got a pit bull, got you on the bottom ankle. The Chihuahua, he's grabbed a little of the, the Chihuahua. The Chihuahuaia. You got you a pit bull and a Chihuahuaia. Hey, he's half a Waiian. He's a Chihuahua. I thought Chihuahua is where from Mexico.

Yeah, you learned that from, Taco Bell commercial. No. What else you got? No, right. But think how cool it would be going into Walmart with a bull elephant behind you. And the guy says, may I help you? I said, yeah, give me five tons of bananas.

I thought they ate peanuts. No. I don't, I've never. I've never tried to feed them. Martin? A week? Martin's a biologist. Martin's over there with his hood on trying to figure out what's,

going on in here. Hey, Martin looks like a mother of the, of the convent. You look like a monk. We are completely off the rails. There is no, I mean, we still don't know what the other dogs are. We're stuck on Chihuahua and Pitbull. What else we got? That's two bad ones.

We got a great Pyramese and a, wait a, wait a great, what? Pieramese. His name's Chester. Some kind of cheese. That's like them big white dogs Yeah Okay I thought that was a little big one

That's a Pomeranian Okay close What else we got I don't know why I'm so interested in your pets Because I thought size elephant might get along with them But And he probably would What

The final one Is a lab mix with a German Shepherd Okay Okay That is a good dog He's got a mean street to him too, though. This boy came all the way here from Kentucky to see us. The biggest one he's got is a chihuahua.

Talking bad about his dogs. You don't talk bad about another man's dog. Which one's, which dog is the oldest? No, no, that's the only Labrador retriever. The chihuahua. Do you like them about the dogs? Is there one you don't like that much? No, not really.

Okay, see, they're all good dogs. I dated a girl that had a chihuahua. the reason I'm saying they're look no no the reason I'm saying they're mean every time I'd go see her that dog would be grounded at me and trying to bite well Hunter

Father, we pray a special prayer for Hunter and his family. Please take this cancer from his body, turn him into the mighty warrior. He can become of yours for your kingdom. Okay, and he will do mighty things. We have no doubt about that. As long as he keeps Jesus in his heart. and mind and keeps us focus on your son, you and your Holy Spirit.
